Hello Igor, Thank you for your prompt reply.
For the tests, inetd was installed and run as a service and I had set CYGWIN=server in the user shell. These are effective because the Cygwin "telnet localhost" returns the very first text string before the connection is lost. I have just repeated the tests for Cygwin, this time defining CYGWIN=server as a system-wide environment variable via XP's control panel. The results are the same as in my previous message.

How is inetd installed as service? Does that service have CYGWIN=server in its environment?
